Our case studies uncover two crucial dilemmas that must be addressed if we are to achieve better understanding and synergy between human rights and conflict resolution practices. The first is the tension between establishing sustainable nonviolent relations between contending groups within a country and prosecuting the members of such groups for human rights abuses or war crimes or both. The second is the significant role that the international community plays in supporting or undermining norms that would help to integrate human rights and conflict resolution practices.
